Starmer and his Blue Labour government, backed by the Tories, Reform and Liberals, and, of course, the bourgeois media, have gone to extreme levels to prioritise the right of Zionist football thugs from Maccabi Tel Aviv to run riot on the streets of Birmingham, as they have done elsewhere, including in Tel Aviv itself. The degree to which Starmer and the rest have been prepared to lie, and to propose spending millions of pounds in order that a group of racist football hooligans can be free to run amok on British streets seems incredible. What is behind it?
It is not just in Britain that the interests of the Maccabi thugs have been privileged over the interests of local people, or that politicians and the media have lied about the violence and thuggery. When Maccabi thugs ran rampage in the Netherlands, when they played Ajax, politicians and the media, there, also, tried to lie about the violence that ensued, deliberately presenting violence from Maccabi fans as being violence against them, even when the people who produced the video footage they used, called them out on it. Similar things have occurred in Germany, where the authorities have attacked even Jewish protesters who denounced the Zionist genocide.
It cannot be separated from the fact that the Zionist state acts as the proxy of western imperialism. In the words of Chancellor Merz, it “does the dirty work of the West”, or in the words of Joe Biden, “If Israel didn't exist they would have to invent it.” In practice, of course, that is what western imperialism has done. British imperialism via the Balfour declaration promised a state for the Zionists in Palestine. When the Zionists implemented that promise using their own terrorist organisations such as the Irgun and Stern Gang, to go beyond the limits that British imperialism sought to impose on them, British imperialism cut and run, as it has done in so many other places, leaving chaos, violence, death and destruction in its wake.
In the 1950's, British and French imperialism sought to utilise the Zionist state, to further their own old colonialist interests in the region, to secure control of the Suez Canal, which turned out to be the death throw of that colonialism, as it was replaced by US imperialism. From the early 1960's, it was US imperialism that took on that role of “inventing” Israel, as it, in turn, sought to secure a proxy, in the region, to counter the influence of the USSR in the rising Arab states, as they, also, shook off the chains of colonial rule.
On the one hand, therefore, western imperialism is in hock to the Zionist state, which acts as its proxy in the Middle East, just as Ukraine is being used against Russia, or Taiwan is being used against China. That imperialism may not agree with the brazen way that the Zionist regime goes about its task of “doing the dirty work” but it has little option but to continue to support it, including in denying the existence of genocide or war crimes, and acting as its attorney, ridiculously branding any criticism of the actions of the Zionist state, as being “anti-Semitic”, a definition which, itself flows from the imposition of the definition of anti-Semitism set out by the IHRA. But, governments are not states, and, in turn, Starmer's Blue Labour government seems to be particularly in hock to the Zionist state, for which it owes a considerable debt in terms of its role in ensuring the removal of Corbyn as Labour Leader.
The claims that the decision to ban the football thugs of Maccabi from the match against Aston Villa, amounted to anti-Semitism, has been a particularly egregious example of the extent to which Starmer has been prepared to lie in order to privilege the interests of Zionist thugs, and to label any criticism of Zionist thuggery as being “anti-Semitic”. It was claimed by Starmer, and other pro-Zionist apologists, that banning the Maccabi fans was a ban on Jewish football fans! You would think that there are no Jewish fans of Aston Villa, who will be turning up to the match! In fact, as Owen Jones has set out in the video below, the degree to which the pro-Zionist forces are prepared to go is shown by the fact of them putting up someone who claimed to be a Jewish Aston Villa fan, who had received death threats, but who, in fact, is nothing of the sort, but a propagandist for the Zionist regime!
In Parliament Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy showed that either she is totally uninformed about one of the areas of culture she is responsible for, i.e. football, or else that she was, also, deliberately lying, when she claimed that banning all fans of away teams was unheard of, a claim that was also put forward at the weekend by the obnoxious friend of Mandelson, Trevor Phillips. As Ash Sarkar has set out, in the video below, a simple search shows the range of such bans.
Starmer has been let off the hook, because, in fact, Maccabi have, now, declined to take up their allocation of tickets for the match, following the suspension of their match with Hapoel Tel Aviv, due to violence from the fans on both sides. It comes after Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson had also slipped on a Maccabi shirt, and vowed to defend its fans.
Had Maccabi not made that decision, Starmer would have had the problem of defending his decision to spend millions to allow Maccabi thugs to run riot on Birmingham streets, terrorising British Muslims, at a time when even the Zionist authorities in Israel were banning them!
